[gentoo-dev] KDE with CUPS

[gentoo-dev] KDE with CUPS

[BoehmeSilvio]

Hi !

I have just build the KDE an everything works fine.

Now i want CUPS.

I found out, that in some KDE ebuilds "cups" is checked in the USE.

Now i have 2 points:

1. Is "cups" in USE safe, because it's not mentioned here ?

2. I have kde running. What packages I have to rebuild, if i put "cups" in
USE ?



Silvio

By the way: 

I have 3 machines, which does't boot with GRUB 0.5.xx ( last in portage ).
Did you fix somthing in that ebuild ??
I have tied GRUB 0.9 and everthing works find.

I made a patch to /usr/lib/portage/bin/use that would log all use'd 
variables into a /var/db/pkg/category/package/USED file so that when a 
user want's to rebuild parts of the distribution like you want he could 
just check which packages that use'd it.

Although it only logs the USE var's that are available, would problably 
be more usefull to log NOT_USED variables.


Also you could problably grep all ebuilds for 'use cups' and 'cups?' but 
that would bring up a lot of duplicates and packages you don't have or 
don't want installed, and some packages are possibly already built with 
cups support.

The ebuilds that check for use cups are kdelibs and kdebase, remerge these.

About it missing from make.conf - it must be another of the flags that were 
lost during the comment-adding. Should I just add it, and all other flags 
used in ebuilds but not mentioned in make.conf, to make.conf in gentoo-src as 
off by default?

I haven't found a need to do this.  As long as you have the cups
lpr-daemon startable via (x)inetd, kde doesn't even need to be aware
of cups?  Or is there something I'm missing?

Well, kde can interface to cups directly instead of through lpr. Not sure 
what benefits there are.

If you build kde with cups support, you can configure all cups printers
inside kde controlcenter.

I have rebuild kde-base and kde-libs. I have to start the cupsd and now I
can
configure and print inside kde without doing any other configuration jobs.

It works fine !
